Now young children can enjoy Odysseus s epic adventure with a specially adapted text and whimsical artwork, interwoven throughout, which captures the excitement of the story. Along the way readers will meet Penelope, The Cyclops, the witch Circe and the monsters Scylla and Charybdis, as well as a host of other characters, who have since become iconic; making this the perfect introduction to The Odyssey for children. Concentrating on the excitement of Odysseus s heroic journey will ensure that children are enthralled from start to finish, whilst parents will love reading an exceptionally illustrated classic. "
